[Intro]
Am   D
Am   D

[Verse 1]
Am              Am7/G    D
Girls, don't forget your pearls
          Am
And all of your horses
       Am7/G     D
As you make your way

Across the pond
Am              Am7/G    D
Girls, don't forget your curls
          Am
And all of your corsets
    Am7/G     D
Memorize them in a little song


[Pre-Chorus]
FM
Shake it up
                            D
Throw your hands up and get loose

Cut a rug
                      FM
Lean into the fucking youth

Choreo
                         D
We just want the fucking truth

(told by the frightened)


[Refrain]
          Am            C6
Is it the end of an era
          D              D/E
Is it the end of America
          Am            C6
Is it the end of an era
          D              D/E
Is it the end of America


[Chorus]
Am
No, oh
     Am7/G      D/F#
It's only the beginning
   D/G     Am
If we hold on to hope
      Am7/G        D/F#
We'll have a happy ending
         C/E       FM
When the world was at war before
   C/E   D
We just kept dancing
         C/E       FM
When the world was at war before
   C/E   D
We just kept dancing

Am             Am7/G    D
Boys, don't forget your toys
                Am
And take all of your money
       Am7/G       D
If you find you're in a foreign land
Am               Am7/G    D
Boys, don't make too much noise
                 Am
And don't try to be funny
      Am7/G  D
Other people may not understand


[Pre-Chorus]
